The Tank Stream (not actually a sewer) but originally an open creek flowing into Sydney Harbour. Then, over time, as the city grew it was modified to form an underground drainage system for the burgeoning city (now CBD area), using huge sandstone blocks.

Interesting information - some things one never would have expected to learn. Fun with added rats and text too. :mrgreen:

I went with a different direction for this RAP, interpreting 'sewer tunnels' as the garbage chute of a a spaceship or -station. Painted from scratch. I was thinking of doing an astronaut being in the process of being sucked out, but I didn't have the time to spend on that.

Cheated with this one. Only sort of drew one stick figure then made a stamp and went from there.

Some things created and some things borrowed - my submission.

It certainly conveys the theme! If one wanted to over-analyze, I guess it could be seen as portraying how soldier and general are all the same ... or something like that.

That's a clever take on the theme, consider the recent news about GameStop buying etc. One could certainly imagine media/news anchors 'rallying the troops' (troops of which side depends on the media I suppose). :mrgreen:

"The Beggar general gathering his troops".

Prompt: Mermaid seeing the stars for the first time

oldmangrumpy · **Posted:** Mon Feb 22, 2021 4:30 am **(#31)**

Here is my mermaid (with bikini top for modesty).

sallyanne · **Posted:** Thu Feb 25, 2021 1:55 am **(#32)**

Cool OMG

I did none of the pictures this time. Just put some together.
I'd say she would probably think "It looks very similar to the deep sea"

A fun take on it. It almost seems like she's caught in a net there.

How majestic must the stars be for those living deep under the sea?

My take on this period's RAP! And in good time too, this time!

Prompt: Monster Truck

First thing I thought of was - one of those Yellow monster size trucks they use in mining. Dont know if I got the amount of wheels correct.

There you go! Yeah I know the kind of truck you mean, it comes across fine from your image. I don't know how many wheels they are supposed to have either
